Tellstack as a Canny alternative

What Canny is for

Canny is known for public feature boards: users suggest requests, others vote, and a roadmap comes out of it.

If that is exactly what you want — a public vote on your roadmap — use Canny.

What Tellstack is for

Several products, one inbox

Projects are filters, not separate installations. Running four apps means reading one stack instead of four.

In place in five minutes

A hosted form without a line of code, the widget with one script tag, the REST API with a key that may only write.

Forms that look like your app

Colours, type, logo, every label, your own options — and the same configuration over the API if you render the form yourself.

Sign-in without a password

Passkeys, short sessions, revocable at any time. No password store to lose.

Export and webhooks

The inbox out as CSV or JSON, events signed to your address — from the Indie plan.

AI as an addition, not a requirement

Classify, spot repeats, group topics, weekly summary — in the paid plans. Collecting, reading and replying works everywhere without it.

What Tellstack deliberately does not do

This list is not an apology, it is the boundary. A tool that tries everything ends up mediocre everywhere.

Public voting boards

There is no board here where users upvote requests. That is a different job from an inbox.

Public roadmap and changelog

Deliberately not built. Anyone who needs it is better off with a tool made for it.

Helpdesk with ticketing

Tellstack takes feedback in and answers it. It is not a support desk with SLAs, queues and macros.

Session recording and screenshots

Not coming — that would mean looking inside your users' apps.

Moving over

There is no import from Canny — not yet. What there is: the REST API. A script that reads your existing feedback and posts it in is an hour's work. Entries keep their date if you send it along.
